Losing a bit of fat and gaining a bit of muscle is always going to make your average bloke look better. But this lad would have benefited much more from buying a nice pair of glasses and telling his hairdresser 'Give me anything other than whatever the hell it is I have now'.
>>4655 I was going to speculate on this before I saw your post. The giveaway is always the shoulders - for reasons I can't remember delts respond more than anywhere else to steroids and almost always look out of proportion on juicers.
Does he have it though? Or do you consider all body builders to have dysmorphia. I'd much rather have this type of dysmorphia in the world then the denial of HAES.

Some do some don't.
People who pump themselves full of steroids then stand in front of a mirror all day aren't exactly the same as people who get a body like that through hard work alone.

I don't see why they wouldn't be at that point, I struggle to think of the job that would warrant someone passively developing a body like that, someone has to be going out of their way for some reason to develop that body, either because they are highly competitive or out of ascetics, and at that level of obsession I don't see why one is any more virtuous than the other. Mike Tyson was an absolute daemon at the height of his career but if you ignore the money, could you imagine your life being this heavily devoted to a few minutes of fighting, that isn't hyperbole either Tyson had 23 professional fights where he knocked out his opponent in the first round a lot of those in under a minute.

I agree that bodybuilding is certainly better for you than being a fat cunt, but I'd be inclined to call it dysmorphia too. It's certainly a hobby for obsessives and is not without its own health risks. I say that as someone who goes to the gym 6 days a week.
